Welcome to the forum bud,
A good history of bikes you got there. Got any pics of the thunderace?

They're a nice bike I was at, ahem, school when they were produced but I appreciate them as they were where the R1 started really

I've met more than one ex-owner who said they'd never buy another one. But to be fair, the quality seems to have improved in recent years.

Mind you, BMW's of that era had their problems too.

Welcome in, looking forward to seeing some photos.
